At the urging of Empress Augusta, Jérôme. Reluctantly, Bonaparte put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

After a simple wash, Jérôme. Bonaparte took Empress Augusta by the hand and led the servant to the dining room.

Franz in the restaurant at this time. Joseph, Princess Elisabeth and Prince Metternich are putting the finishing touches on it. The presence of Mr. and Mrs. Bonaparte caused the three men in the dining room to put down their knives and forks and stand up at the same time.

"No need to get up!" Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand, smiled kindly, and said, "There are not so many rules in the Tuileries! You can feel like you're home! ”

Franz. Joseph and the others sat down again, and Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta also sat down.

Jérôme. Bonaparte sat down with Franz. Next to Joseph, Augusta sat next to Queen Elizabeth.

After a while, the head of the royal palace, Mocal, sent Jérôme. Bonaparte's breakfast was served on a tray and placed in Jérôme. In front of Bonaparte and Empress Augusta was a small sandwich, two eggs, and a glass of milk.

"Your Majesty, why do you eat this?" Sitting next to Augusta, Elizabeth asked, puzzled.

"Sissi, this food is enough to satisfy your stomach!" Empress Augusta smiled and replied to Elizabeth: "There are still many people in the world who can't even eat this!" ”

"How can anyone not even eat this?" Elizabeth couldn't help but say.

"Silly girl, does everyone live in a worry-free environment like you?" Empress Augusta replied affectionately to Elizabeth.

"Actually, it's normal for Sissi to have this kind of thought! It's a gap in perception, Augusta, and don't forget what you said when you first followed me to the orphanage! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Augusta in an easy-going tone.

Thinking of her stupid remarks at the beginning, Augusta's face flushed slightly, and she whispered angrily: "Your Majesty, don't talk about the past anymore!" ”

Looking at the couple who were openly flirting in front of her, Elizabeth's face showed a touch of envy. Will Joseph do the same to them in the future?

Elizabeth glanced cautiously at Franz, who was sitting across from him. Joseph, found Franz. Joseph's expression was serious, as if he was thinking about something!

"In fact, people living at the top of the society can only understand the current state through limited information! Neither the newspaper nor the government's work report will ever record real data! They will only choose to report the good side to the upper echelons, and the bad side will be hidden. "Jérôme. After taking a bite of the sandwich, Bonaparte glanced at Franz beside him. Joseph: "There are still so many people in this world who have not yet left the subsistence line!" Take Paris, for example...... Sissi, what kind of city is Paris in your eyes! ”

"Ahh The princess Sissi who came back to her senses pondered for a moment, and the words were carefully worded. Bonaparte responded: "Your Majesty, I think Paris is a beautiful and industrious city, and it is a great asset to France, and indeed to the world!" ”

"Sissi, thank you for your compliments to Paris!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Sissi, "Paris is a beautiful and industrious city, as you say, but behind this beauty and industriousness is a city supported by more than 100,000 and hundreds of thousands of sans-culottes, who, like worker bees in a hive, work tirelessly in this vast hive to produce high-quality honey for our enjoyment."

These people are both the pillars of Paris and the silent majority! They can be seen everywhere, but they can be forgotten at any time.

However, these are the same people who built the whole of Paris, and the wages they receive can only make them struggle with food and clothing.

In Paris, nearly seventy percent of the workers did not have access to enough food to sustain themselves, and bread hard enough to fill wooden sticks became what they relied on to sustain themselves.

It only takes a little unrest to push them into abject poverty, and poverty will undoubtedly lead to mass unrest!

Those sans-culottes who can't survive don't care if you're a king or an emperor, they'll gamble with their lives to overturn all those high-flying guys! ”

"Oh God! It's horrible! Elizabeth replied in a trembling voice.

Franz at this time. There was also a look of fear on Joseph's face, and the Great Revolution of a few years ago was still in his mind.

"Is it scary?" Jérôme. Bonaparte chuckled, then nodded, "For us, the sans-culottes are indeed a formidable force, but this force is not invulnerable!" The easiest way to do this is a massacre! All you need to do is slaughter all the people who want to resist! We have used this method many times since the time of the king! ”

Elizabeth's fear was even greater, while Franz. Joseph had some approval of Jérôme in his heart. Bonaparte's statement.

"But this method is only a palliative and not a cure! Slaughtering the rebels will not solve the problem! On the contrary, it will make some people spontaneously unite against each other, especially now that we are going through a change! "Jérôme. Bonaparte changed his words and gradually led the topic to the industrial system: "An industrial revolution, the old agricultural production system will gradually collapse with the development of industrialization!" The ancient aristocracy that did not adapt to the new system will also gradually decline and even die out in this shock! ”

"Impossible!" Franz. Joseph cried out in fear, and he could not accept Jérôme with his conservative mind. Bonaparte's point of view!

"Franz, why do you think it's impossible?" Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke sharply to Franz. Joseph asked rhetorically.

"Because...... Because ...... "Franz. Joseph racked his brains and couldn't answer.

"Your Majesty, can this question also be answered?" Prince Metternich opened his mouth to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Absolutely!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in response to Metternich.

"Because the aristocracy has more wealth for ordinary people! If times really have to change, they will develop faster than ordinary people! "Prince Metternich to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Mr. Metternich, investment is not land management! It is true that the first mover can have fewer detours, but how can you be sure that your investment will be the right one! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked rhetorically, "It only takes one crisis to turn the savings of countless nobles into a bubble!" How many aristocrats who only have ancient surnames, but do not have the wealth that matches their surnames, are truly convinced!

During the Revolution, how many of the nobles who fled to other countries rose again with their surnames! ”

Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, Metternich was speechless, and he remembered the difficulties his family had faced after the confiscation of the French Revolutionary Army in the Dutch estate.

"The bourgeoisie spawned by industrialization will slowly destroy the entire aristocracy and replace it with its abundant financial resources!" Jérôme. Bonaparte for Franz. Joseph exposes a harsh reality.

Without him, Franz. Joseph would not understand until he had been beaten for decades.

"Your Majesty, is there nothing that can stop you?" Elizabeth helped Franz with a little face. Joseph asked.

"It's a pity!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to them with a long sigh: "No force can stop its creation, because it is not something that can be seen and touched, but a tendency. Some of the first-mover countries are undergoing change, and some are already completing it. If you resist this change, you will fall victim to the first-mover countries! ”

Everyone except Elizabeth knows that Jérôme. Bonaparte's first-mover countries meant Britain and France.

And the gap between industrialized and agrarian countries is vividly reflected in this Crimean War!

"The nobility will struggle in this wave of change, but no matter how much they struggle, only a small number of the nobility will survive! The vast majority of nobles will be drowned, and of course, this process will take decades! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Franz Joseph: "During this time, those nobles with noble surnames will still be active in the political arena and become the trendsetters of the times, but for the general environment, the aristocracy is no longer capable of completely ruling the country!" They must learn to share their power with a part of the population, just as you Austrian Empire did with Baron Rothschild! In the future, more and more people will come to the front, take the position of the nobles, and weaken the influence of the nobles! ”

Since Astam. After Rothschild was canonized as a baron by Emperor Franz, the influence of the Rothschilds in the Austrian Empire increased day by day, which had the meaning of influencing the entire Austrian economy.

"Mr. Rothschild is already a baron of the Empire!" Franz. Joseph retorted.

"It's just a disguise for him to act for convenience! The loyalty of the Rothschilds to Austria is probably not comparable to that of the old aristocracy! "Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Franz. Joseph replied.

Franz. Joseph was silent, Jérôme. Bonaparte was right that the Rothschilds' loyalty to the Empire was limited to superficial loyalty!

"Franz, an era called industrialization has arrived, and those who are unwilling to embrace industrialization will inevitably be abandoned by the times! Even the oldest empire will only be crushed if it can't follow the wheels! ”
